BANGALORE, July 26: Indian police have few leads into the eight bombings in quick succession across the south Indian IT city of Bangalore that killed a woman and wounded at least six people on Friday, officials said.

An unexploded bomb was found near a shopping mall in Bangalore on Saturday, but it was unclear whether the bomb was newly planted or meant to have exploded during Friday’s attacks, police said.

“Special squads have been formed to find out who is behind the blasts. We have not got any conclusive leads yet,” Bangalore’s Additional Commissioner of Police M.R. Pujar said on Saturday. India’s home ministry said on Friday it suspected “a small militant group” was behind the attacks, but gave no details.

Some major IT companies in Bangalore, known as India’s Silicon Valley, said they were increasing security at their offices after the eight low intensity bombs went off. Each bomb had a similar explosive force to one or two grenades.

“We have increased security in our campus,” said a spokeswoman for Infosys, one of India’s leading software companies.
